LITTLE MONEY FOR CHARITY eea f City Take tar of la Other Ways, Praia an Treasury Haa 'ol Bf Heavy. The monthly statement of the city clerk show that expenditures for the fiscal year for the maintenance of the city gov ernment have amounted to IIBMM.Ol. and that a balance in the treasury of $77.$UO remains for the last four months. Collec tions for the balance of the year will probably equal a sum sufficient to raise the balance of $SO.no. The average month's expenditure! has been about I1S.0OO. If this Is kept up the expense will all be met, with I5.M0 or ift.flOO as a balance at the end of the yesr. Borne of the particular funds will be exhausted by the first of May. This is true of the salary fund, which is at present very low. The police fund Is also low, but plenty of money remains In the fire fund. The last year of Mayor Hoctor's term showed that the city expended nearly $7,000 for charity. The expenses of the city for March, usually one of the hardest months of the yesr amounted in 1909, to JM. This sum Indicates, first, greater care In the Investigation oF pretended need, and also a much better condition among the poorer classes of the people than formerly. The branch county store haa had Its effect also In reducing the demands on the city. It Is qulto as easy to apply to the county as to the city. The former expenses were due In part to emergencies. Much money was spent In smallpox cases. The smallpox esses In March coat tho city 116. Mandamas Salt In Prospect. MsnilHmus proceedings will be brought sgalnnt I lie Rttindard Klectrlc company of Omaha In the district court today by H. Q. Bneschc of South OOmaha to compel the ssid company to record l is name as a stock holder f Hie firm. Tho company refused to do this yesterday because It Is evident that other litigation Is to follow Immedi ately, growing out of the effort Of Cecil V. Brook to gain access to the books of the company. If the mandamus Is Issued it will be followed by action on the part nf the new stockholder to cheek up the books and see that all methods arc scrutinized. Boescha Is attorney for Brock, and Brock has assigned two shares ol stock to him to give him a legal right to demand that he be recorded as a stock holder In the company. An Injunction was brought not long ago to secure possession or access to the books of the company to C. V. Brock. Brock sent his attorneys to examine the books and they were refused admission, hence the injunction. Doaj Tags Now Ready. The time of the dog tag has arrived In South Omaha.

Rabbi Frederick Cohn Friday night gave a spirited reply to the recent sermon of Rev. Frederick T. Rouse in the First Con gregational church in which be classed Hebraism and "Beezncss" together during the course of which, the rabbi said the people of the present day have a right to expect healing for the soul from the pul pit and are not looking . for firebrands on the altar. "The doctrine of brethren dwelling together in unity of peace on earth and good will toward man is pre ferable In these days," he declared. He cited a saying of Hebraic wisdom that he declared was applicable of the tenor that wise men should be careful of their words lest they spread falsehood and mischief and lest they be guilty of having unnecesaarily and unwarrantedly caused mischief and misery. The whole discourse of the evening at Temple Israel was an exposition of the place of the Jew in the world and a proof that ha is a man of ideals and not a materialist. Especially is he a religious Idealist. The place in leading reforms of renowed Hebrews was given: Social democracy, advocated by Ferdinand La, Salle: socialism, the theory of Carl Marx; national disarma ment and International arbitration ad vanced by Jean de Bloch, a Polllsli Jew; Esperanto, the new universal language of Dr. Zamenhof. All these and many were examples where the Hebrew takes the lead in Idealistic movements.

"There's a Rewon" Griet for Wife Death of Bouse Husband Never Ceases to Mourn for Companion and Dies Three Months After Her. "Peter Bouse died of grief as much aa anything else," said a close friend, talking of the death of the man who had become a part, of the Merchants hotel. "Three months ago Mrs. Bouse died and her hus band was bit harder than he let on, even to Intimate friends. When I went up to his home to help remove his body Friday evening the rooms were Just as they had been left by Mrs. Bouse when she died. I know that, and noticed It, for I helped to remove her body. "Pete's friends had tried to get him to leave the place and take a room some where, but he would not. Ho mourned there alone, and undoubtedly his grief, re pressed in public, brought on the attack from which he died." Another factor tn worrying Mr. Bouse was the condition of his brother, Nicholas Bouse, a former passenger conductor and later police officer living at St. Paul, Minn. He has been failing steadily for several months and Peter was esperting any day a call to St. Paul. Mrs. Moore, a sister-in-law, and William Bouse, a nephew of Mr. Bouse s from St. Paul, have arrived in Omaha to take the body to Minneapolis where they will bury it beside that ft Mrs. Boue.
